Almost every JS app I have seen uses a tags though. Even if they are just links to # pages. With most router libraries you can even use real paths and it works all on the front end. Sounds like you found one anecdotal case that didn't know this.
Is the cost saving really measuring the right thing? Instead of comparing against the cost of pre-generating and caching every file preview, shouldn’t they be comparing against he cost of adding enough infrastructure (or just optimising their preview code) to make on-the-fly preview generation acceptably fast?
I didn’t interpret the comment that way. If a company is trying to be cash flow neutral, they could (very roughly) consider the net income to be the amount left over for capex.
Generic manufacturers don't have anything to do with insurance companies, though, do they? Other than perhaps trying to convince insurance companies to put their drug on the formulary. It would be between the pharmacy & insurance.
Normally that's true, but I don't think the company's actual valuation has much to do with what's happening here - the company is basically worthless. The only question is how much money you're willing to throw away, because absolutely no one can predict what will happen tomorrow.

There's always about the same amount of money bidding above and below the current price. The market maker keeps it in balance, by matching buy bids and sell bids which are close to the middle of the range. This matching process sets the price and makes sure that there is always liquidity.

The price may shoot way up, or plunge, but this process almost always works, so there's almost always liquidity.
The key point of this article is that the new variant is sufficiently unlike the original strain that it may be able to infect those who have already had the original strain.

If that is true, 2021 will be another memorable year.
I, for one, liked the joke :)
I'd like to know whether these retail investors see Gamestop as artwork or as speculation/investment.

Artwork - they buy it not because of any intrinsic value or expectation of a dividend/capital gain, but because of reasons pertaining to subjective utility - childhood nostalgia, a desire to get symbolic revenge at hedge funds, entertainment value, or a desire to access gambling services in a country where online gambling is restricted.

Investment - expecting to make a profit through greater fool hypothesis, a short squeeze, or because they believe in the company (e.g positive reflexivity of stock price and exposure leading to more funding and business, respectively).

Arguably it's a combination of both, and I'd say it's a fairly new phenomenon in financial markets (not so much other markets), perhaps TSLA being another good example.
I know nothing about trading:

Presumably they'd want to split the sell offer into smaller portions to avoid indicating a turn in the market which might cause a fall in price before they realise [as big a] profit on their position?

Like trying to get out of a place when you see things heading south (ie a calamity approaching). If you run for the door then everyone will see you and the people close to the door might block your exit as they seek to escape. If you cautiously walk, avoid being direct, etc., you've more chance to get out.
> But for some scientists, the most worrying variant might be the newest one. A variant called P.1, which emerged in early December in Manaus, Brazil, and by mid-January had already caused a massive resurgence in cases across the city of 2 million people.

The blatant editorial tone here is off-putting. It's worth pointing out that the resurgence in Amazonas appears to be of about the same magnitude as the one in the winter, and is currently declining:

This is a great example of how the stock market is not about fundamentals, just like Bitcoin, it’s all about popularity and perception.

In the end, people don’t care if the “stock is really worth” the price, they only care if themselves or someone else are willing to pay the price, nothing else really matters.

While looking for moldable plastic material ("Sugru" and similar) on Amazon, I was a bit taken aback by the reviews for one such substance. Multiple reviewers were stating that they were using this stuff to make their own dental crowns or some other DIY tooth repair because they couldn't afford a dentist. I found this quite shocking and I'm not sure if these people were serious.

See the reviews on this product page: https://www.amazon.com/InstaMorph-Moldable-Plastic-6-oz/dp/B...

The entire food pipeline is heavily subsidized by the government, from advantageous loans to crop price insurance to direct cash subsidies to a sales tax exemption, to SNAP to people who can't afford food. I agree wholeheartedly with the bakery comment, that they try to maximize profits, but, bread is less than a dollar a loaf and significant expense and effort is taken to ensure everyone is fed. There seems to be no will to do the same for healthcare.
Rails is an excellent choice for the backend but on the frontend its much less productive than react. Most rails apps these days would use rails as an api backend and react on the frontend.
Yeah, I used that that too, and shed a tear when it died.

But there are extensions that do a similar thing, eg Brief. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/brief/ And once you've got past the pain of the move, they do a much better job.

If Brief synced what you've read between Firefox instances (desktop / mobile in particular for me), it would be heaven. It might even be enough to turn induce me to create an account and turn on Firefox sync. However that is a forlorn wish given it hasn't been updated in 2 years now.

> and I don’t think the answer to today’s many ills is to empower poor people to bankrupt themselves with margin accounts and derivatives.

I love the double speak wrt margin accounts. They want to mix up naked margin accounts where your broker gives you a loan of money to trade with, with the types of margin accounts used by WSB peeps, where the margin is only to cover the 2 day settlement window or the time it takes a deposit to transfer, ie: covered margins.

My counter point: I don’t think the answer to today’s many ills is to parentalise retail investors with a holier than thou attitude that is driving half of the spite from these investors.

The soundbite is that they have to protect the poor whittle retail investor from scam stocks, but the effect is and will always be to lock off higher gain opportunities to institutional investors and away from poorer investors.

This company is worth a trillion dollars, is barely growing, makes no money and is starting to lose share in some markets. I don't think I'm the one that has to do the cherry picking.
To me OOP is about separation of concerns, abstract data types, information hiding. Modules/namespaces support decomposition the same way that objects do, and historically they became popular because of and in tandem with object-oriented languages. So it's true as others have pointed out that they can and do exist in other paradigms; I would argue that is evidence of the influence of OOP and the fact that its best ideas have been incorporated all over the place.

You´re right in the short term. But in the long term the hope is that things average out and true value emerges as a function of countless transactions over years and years. Markets are a value ascribing heuristic machine. There is nothing about them that can deterministically point to objective value. However, the idea is that over a longer period of time, an approximation of true value emerges though wisdom of the crowd.
None. It's built completely from scratch, with no third-party dependencies.

Agree. Seems a little more safe than I expected. I was looking for some hidden camera and didn’t spot it. The open ports seem the minimal needed.
That's not been true in my experience - what you do end up with is a global data structure, which is the shared state for all or most non-ephemeral top level concerns. Aside from recursive functions I find call stacks tend to be quite short.
Correct.

GME was heavily shorted at ~148% and the institutional shorts got too greedy and /r/wallstreetbets caught them as they failed to close their shorts.

Now they are forced to buy back the stock to cover their positions whist everyone is buying and holding GME as the stock price goes higher; rinse and repeat.

If anything, the hedge-funds over-shorting these stocks are the criminals which have manipulated them (GME) for years with other hedge-funds bailing them out and the media covering their asses for their illegal activities; as usual.

Then they cry and lie with the media: 'ThiS is mAnIpulAtIOn' to /r/wallstreetbets.

All I can say is: /r/wallstreetbets is literally robinhood.
I checked his channel after your comment and it seems he's gone all-in on the satire recently. He does put out a really good video occasionally.

To give you an idea of what he does that's missing in MOOCs, take a look at his video in which he migrates a database to a new server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4EYnCgIwc

Throughout the video he talks about why he chooses a particular method among the different approaches available, discusses their pros and cons, what are some of the issues you might encounter in the real world that you should consider. Even if the video is about migrating a database he goes through many other related topics like DNS, choosing the server hardware and OS. He also talks about his past experiences and observations throughout. It feels more engaging and you feel like an apprentice rather than a passive consumer.

> There is a reason high frequency trading is typically referred to as legal front running. Sure, it's not front running by legal definition, but in practice it is absolutely front running. Beating trades to the market and making micro-gains on a mass scale.

It's only referred that may by people who have no idea what they're talking about.

Front running isn't about "beating" anyone to anything. It's about stealing non-public information about an actor's intent to trade and using it to make trades before that information becomes public, and specifically before that trade executes. It's the theft bit which is the reason it's illegal.

What HFT firms are doing is simply rushing to execute as fast as possible on generally available information. They're not acting on information that's not legally available to everyone else, because that would be illegal misuse of that information. This sort of thing is pretty easy to detect, and the SEC comes down pretty hard on it.
Yes, exactly. What matters is do you have the resources to comfortably meet your needs or not. It does not matter if some people have many times more resources than you, that does not affect your situation. You might be envious, but that's neither here nor there really in your day to day quality of life.

Agreed it won't work. A lot of the discussion has already moved from Reddit to discord, and then to another discord channel after the first, and it will move again too if it needs to.

I don't know if people remember the fraught Codec War of 2014, but the choice of VP8 and H.264 both being "Mandatory To Implement" was the compromise that the IETF reached, despite much opposition from both sides.[0]

As often happens with wars, though, the outcome in 2014 wasn't enough to permanently settle the matter, and there was a further outbreak of fighting later between VP9 and HEVC. More recently, some are saying[1] that the Codec Wars are back, with the arrival of AV1 as a contender.

I may be missing something obvious, but why is pdf such a bad choice?

As long as it has actual text and is reasonably typeset (selecting text in this pdf seems to work properly), I don't see what's wrong. I'd take it any day over webpages with random floating content that you have to click through and use a modern browser with javascript without blockers/filters for the content to even render, in small text on 20% of the page, with low contrast and somehow broken zoom.
There are "small animal" MRI machines, which are mostly intended for research.

But this problem is exactly why we invented money in the first place... If I'm an interventional radiologist and I want to learn algebraic topology, what are the chances of a coincidence of wants? How many algebraic topologists do you think there are in the world who will trade their time for a chance to get better at placing arterial stents?

On the other hand, I can basically guarantee you that someone somewhere is willing to pay money for an arterial stent, and somewhere else there is a world-class expert mathematician who will accept money in exchange for tutoring.

I had always been using 2-3 year old android phones for the last 7 years and I was unable to comprehend how anyone uses the web on mobile because everything was so incredibly slow in the browser while native apps were fine. Then I got the latest iphone and my mind was blown at how I could scroll a website at 60fps. I guess if you have the fastest phone on the market, everything seems fine.

Demand for physical media is declining and seems certain to be extinguished by the console manufacturers within the next few years. GameStop has no leverage to slow or change that.
I’m not an expert either but I have experience with getting fires to burn. Starting a fire in the cold is quite a bit harder. Mostly because if it’s cold, then it’s the middle of winter, and that means the kindling is covered with ice and snow, which has to be melted and evaporated off. A dry log has a lot of potential energy in it. A frozen log full of water and snow has zero or even negative potential energy, as in, even if you get it to burn it might take more heat out of the fire because of the ice than it adds back by burning.

But, that might not apply to peat fires because 1) larger, hotter fires make more efficient use of fuel, especially if they are in some insulated space where all the heat is not going straight into the atmosphere and 2) the peat might be dry.
Auto insurance does give discounts for things like taking a defensive driving course. Some will give discounts for installing a tracker on your car to show that you don't speed.

So it's not entirely out of the question that they could give discounts for properly maintaining your vehicle, if that were a major cause of accidents and it could be tracked.
It's mostly market cap based, says so right in the article you linked.

Of course not, finance people make a bunch of spreadsheets and then the factories poof into existence. The regulatory credits factor into those spreadsheets.
The problem I have isn't that a hedge fund screwed up. It isn't even with WSB.

The problem I have is that this seems to be another red flag that we are in the late stages of a bull market. The point where, at least according to folk wisdom, the least sophisticated investors enthusiastically enter the market.

One thing I love about Svelte/Sapper is that it can be used for both the server-side rendering and the interactive map. And it doesn't feel like an afterthought - idiomatic usage leads to server-side rendered html with progressive enhancement of JS.

I feel like even as a descriptive theory it doesn't really map all that well to reality, though.
Interesting video. But it seems that the definition of negative evidence is telling the child "no" and then correcting them.

When I say we "correct her", I simply mean that we repeat back the sentence correctly. It seems to work well as she will often repeat it back again how we say it or sometimes just continue on. We never withhold understanding because the grammar is wrong. I can definitely see how the example given of correcting with "no, that's not proper grammar" would not be effective with young ones.

By repeating it back correctly, she is given another example of correct grammar and I know of no other way for a young child to learn than to hear it spoken more.
